Report: Controversy brews over real parents of Michael Jackson's children

Reports are swiftly spreading on the Web -- the result of scandalous stories in Us Weekly and on TMZ -- that Michael Jackson and Debbie Rowe are not the biological parents of his older children.
And that his youngest child, Prince Michael II,was born to an unknown surrogate via IVF.
So who are the parents of his eldest kids?
Reports from insiders to both TMZ and Us Weekly claim that Jackson's longtime dermatologist and friend Arnold Klein, who was Rowe's boss when she was involved with Jackson, is the baster.
Update: Us Weekly's story does not claim Rowe is not the natural mother, only TMZ.
But TMZ also claims that Rowe was simply the turkey. The eggs actually came from another woman.
Rowe's attorney has already replied to Radaronline.com with this statement:
"We refuse to be drawn into addressing the various rumors and speculation swirling in the media. The vast majority of what is out there is untrue.
"Particularly hurtful and insidious is the most recent rumor -- which is entirely false -- concerning the maternity of the children. Ms. Rowe is the biological mother of the two oldest children."
Klein has not commented on the speculation.
Update: Klein has issued a statement regarding Michael Jackson's medical treatment and the parentage of his children.
"Dr. Klein is aware of media reports connecting him to Michael Jackson," his rep, Richard L. Charnley said in a statement to Access Hollywood. "Because of patient confidentiality Dr Klein will make no statement on any reports or allegations."
Will the truth ever be known? And is it really important?
Do you care?

What kind of report is that ?
TMZ and Us weekly do not corroborate each other but tell 2 differents stories, disagreeing on the identity of the mother and only one talks about Klein the other says the donor may have been anonymous.
Have you sunk that low, trying to make TMZ and Us weekly sound like legitimate sources ??
Leave the kids out of this, good grief. Rest in peace Michael...you are a legend!!! I cannot believe the way you could move and your voice was incredible. We will miss you, but we will not forget you!!
The only cured pediphile is a dead one. A child psychologist should at once interview the children Jackson claims he is the father of. Jackson kept them totally isolated and under his watchfull eye and thumb; away from TV, others and other children. During Jackson's molestation trial (and by the way where there is smoke there is fire) Debbie Rowe, biological mother or not, appears to have regained custody rights back by taking Jackson to court. The mere fact that Jackson could have been sentenced may have prompted her as did the molestation allegations. Adopting your children out has no social stigma so what is so different about Rowe's case. So what if she got money, people who adopt children pay money. No reason not to pay a surrgote mother either. Personally, I think pediphiles should be shot at sunrise. Doubtfull Rowe had any idea Jackson was kinky when she offered to bear him a child for bucks. Of course, neither did Arnold Klein who was making bucks off Jackson too. Money talks!! In hindsight, you can bet neither Rowe, Klein or Jackson's recent in-house doctor, Murray, would have jumped at the chance to help Jackson. "Apples don't fall far from the tree." Jackson is dishonest & cunning. He is his father's son. Does a son of a duck swim? YAH!
Michael Jackson AKA "Wacko Jacko". No matter how we cut it, the truth is unique and simple. His musical talent surpassed his infamous actions and strangeness.
No matter how bad we bash the dead...his music will survive from generation to generation.
A legacy of litigation will also survives the King of Pop. The past decade he has more appearance in courts than any other place. So, It is fair to say that he was also the "King of the Litigations".
Left behind multiple lawsuits pending against, and some brought on behalf of.
Gradually we will all reconcile with the differences and uncertainties. MJ will returned to pristine condition and his music will always matter the most.
Peaceful be his next journey.
So many judges and analyzers of another..the fact remains that we as the public will never know the truth and can always speculate based on what we know...I just pray that MICHAEL'S CHILDREN do not have tainted memories of their father from this time...Best to all who continue to crucify this man instead of getting their own houses in order...
Not being funny but I think that man looks kinda like the oldest son!
UNIQUE, best singer, best dancer, a lengend. Thanks for all you gave us. You´ll never die in our hearts. Santiago-Chile, South America. With love to the ONLY King of Pop. We will all follow you sometimes.
Wow the lady going on and on about molestation.. Did you not WATCH The TV when he was Aquitted? Do you know how many psyco's (as the mom was proven to be) are out there.. She just wanted his money.. You're an idiot.. You see one thing on the TV and are hard core beliver.. Did you here the other day on Cspan that Obama is in the Klu Klux Klan.. Maybe you should watch that too..
Dumb Dumb and for you to bring up things to shame him in death is TERRIBLE of you.. He is innocent and was not CHARGED hello!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I know for a fact that it is not impossible for the children to be MJ's. I am medium brown same coloring as MJ with curly kinky hair. My kids are white with smooth hair. My daughter tans my son does not he just gets pink. Mixed kids tend to be very light or even white when previous generations are mixed. Looking at the Jacksons they are not dark skinned people. I wish more mixed children parents would speak up.
I am truly sorry for the children. First and foremost, I'm sorry that they've suffered such a significant loss. Losing a parent (especially if it's the only parent you've known) can be devastating. Additionally, they've lived a very sheltered existance.. heavily guarded and protected. It is my sincere hope that they ultimately end up in the custody of someone who genuinely, sincerely cares for them and will continue to protect and safeguard them. It is also my hope that one day these children will know who their biological parents are and that their biological parents don't exploit them or seek to benefit from this unfortunate situation financially. At the end of the day, these children are the real victims in all of this. Please respect their privacy and pray that they be allowed to live as normal a life as possible. Ultimately, they deserve to be happy and to have as much love and support as possible. I just hope they're allowed to heal privately and peacefully and that they emerge as adults, successful and happy individuals living full and satisfying lives. That's what their father, Michael Joseph Jackson would have wanted.
